Wine licence granted despite Garda fears over public order problems

People drinking in bushes and public order problems were cited among reasons for Garda objections to a new wine retail licence in the Douglas area of Cork.

Sergeant Miriam McGuire said there was no problem with the character of the applicant at Cork District Court yesterday.

John O’Leary, director of Kevin O’Leary, Cork, applied for a wine retail licence for Centra at the newly re-opened Texaco at South Douglas Rd.
